We’ve put the best-selling ARE title HER STEPBROTHERS ARE ALIENS on sale for $.99 to celebrate the publication of Trinity Blacio’s first volume of HER PARANORMAL STEPBROTHERS OMNIBUS.  The new collected work features her very first paranormal stepbrother tale, HER STEPBROTHERS DEMANDS, as well as HER STEPBROTHERS ARE ALIENS and HER STEPBROTHERS ARE DEMONS for the first time in print.  The omnibus is $16.99 as a trade paperback and $6.99 as an ebook.

"It’s hard to believe I’ve been working on the stepbrothers stories for close to a year now,” said best-selling author Trinity Blacio. "The idea of a stepbrother series came to me when I was looking through material to read. I saw that all these stepbrother tales were making the erotic romance bestseller lists, and I realized most of my books feature brothers who share the same woman. I thought it would be neat to have a paranormal stepbrother series, and of course there has to be two of them because you know I love a good ménage!”

Brief History of the Mansion:

The Morris-Jumel Mansion is the oldest house in Manhattan. Built in 1765 by Royalist couple Roger Morris and his wife Mary Phillipse (of the famed Sleepy Hollow and Yonkers Phillipses), the house went through phases as a quarter for George Washington during the Battle of Harlem Heights, a Royalist barracks for soldiers loyal to George III, a tavern, and the home of the famed Madame Eliza Jumel, who, despite humble beginnings, became the richest woman in Manhattan due to her financial prowess. The daughter of a prostitute, Eliza was born in a brothel in 1775. Through her intelligence and initiative she raised herself into wealthy circles. Her first husband, Stephen Jumel, was a French wine merchant. The couple purchased the Morris-Jumel Mansion as a country estate. After the death of her first husband, Eliza married Aaron Burr, and he came to live in the Mansion. Burr, who had been vice president under Thomas Jefferson, is best known to modern students of history as the man who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. It may surprise some to know that he was also an early supporter of women’s rights and anti-slavery. He was a complex and ambitious man, who, along with his famous opponent, is portrayed to powerful effect in the Broadway musical “Hamilton.” Eliza divorced Aaron Burr, citing infidelity, and he died the day the divorce was finalized. Eliza Jumel died at the age of 90, though some say her spirit still inhabits the house. After Eliza’s death, the Mansion and its contents were fought over by rival familial factions for 20 litigious years. In 1903, the Mansion was purchased by the City of New York for preservation.
